Popis: The fluorescently labelled polymers including pyrene-labelled polystyrene (PyPS) and pyrene-labelled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PyPMMA) with narrow molecular weight distributions were synthesized by the atom transfer radical copolymerization (ATRCP) of styrene or methyl methacrylate with 1-pyrenemethyl methacrylate (PyMMA). The ultrathin PyPS and PyPMMA films with the thickness ranging from 30 nm to 400 nm supported on the quartz slides were prepared by spin-coating. The fluorescent quantum yield (QY) of the pyrene probe in the ultrathin polymer films was investigated by the photoluminescence spectrometer using an integrating sphere detector. The QY decreased with the reduction of film thickness in the sub-200 nm range.
